Looking at the kernel code the historical behavior has alwasy been to prefer the signal number passed in by the kernel. So sigh. Implmenet __copy_siginfo_from_user and __copy_siginfo_from_user32 to take that signal number and prefer it. The user of ptrace will still use copy_siginfo_from_user and copy_siginfo_from_user32 as they do not and never have had a signal number there. Luckily this change has never made it farther than linux-next.
